We do FileMaker. How can we help you?

At Absolute Advantage, Inc. we've been working with FileMaker Pro since 1993. We specialize in business process and accounting. We are programmers but prefer to see ourselves as business consultants. Together with my business partner Bob Gossom, we have over 25 years of FileMaker experience. We use our business education (BS Business Administration-Randy, MBA Bob) to learn and solve your business problems.

We are FileMaker certified 11.

We are the creators of Absolute Accounting. Written entirely in FileMaker Pro, Absolute Accounting is a high-volume, multi-user accounting system. First released in 1999, Absolute Accounting is the most complete FileMaker accounting system available. Designed by developers for developers, it enables quick and easy integration into existing FileMaker solutions.

We've been doing this a long time and have extensive experience converting older (.fp5) FileMaker solutions too.
